Hi! In the last week I have listened to all of your padcasts..and I am soo addicted! I especially loved your stories on how you got started, your stash collection and the knitting phases - I can sooo recognize that from myself :)Love the shawlette, I think I would go for the Topaz color, love that color!Karen (lindse at ravelry)

Just discovered your podcast after finally learning how to knit & love them!!! There is nothing like the feeling of sitting down to knit with a cup of tea after getting my 5 month old to bed I would love to win the cedar colour!!

The shawlette is lovely! I do think the green (cedar) is pretty even though I can't see the brown. I like the chocolate too-mmmmmmmm. Maybe a new shade with more golden, orange and red with the brown.......??? :)

Alana, great podcast! And I love, love, love the cedar shawlette! I've even forwarded it to a dog friend of mine who is an avid knitter and she's also excited about getting started! I'm waiting with baited breath for the pattern to come out, I have yarn and I'm ready to start, so it's the 16th and still no pattern available. *sniff* I am hoping to make several as they will be my annual Christmas gift project for my friends. Please tell me that the pattern is ready for purchase!

I loved the Jolly Green Giant story, too! Quite a project! I think I probably would have given up, it took so long to complete. But it came out lovely and I'm sure Nic's Dad is thrilled.

I love the Handmaiden Cedar Green. I did try to find it in my LYS without success. I purchased a cotton yarn from Arucania which hopefully will have the right amount drape. I also have some merino wool in my stash, but you have mentioned that it won't have the right sheen or drape, so that may have to be put on the burner for something else. So should I win your contest (not likely, I have the worst luck!) I'd love the Handmaiden in the cedar, thanks!

Can't wait to see what else you have "cooked up" in your head for a design. I'm going for surgery in Jan. and will have a long recuperation, so I will have plenty of time for knitting. Now I just need plenty of money to fund my habit! LOL!

The cedar leaf shawlette is a beautiful design. I'd love to knit it & I'm adding it to my rav queue! It's gorgeous in the green colorway but I think it would be even more spectacular in the Amethyst colorway.

I had to get the pattern right away but please enter me anyway as I would give the extra one to my friend, Marnie. I too love the green but I think it would be equally as gorgeous in ivory.Great podcast - loved the green giant story!

Your Cedar Leaf design is so beautiful! I have such a love of leaves and have to agree that the cedar colorway is an amazing match for it. You did an amazing job. Amethyst would also be lovely (purple is my favorite color).-Johanna

I just ordered some Handmaiden Sea Silk in Cedar - I'm a big fan of rich greens and they are hard to find.

As for Lady Godiva I think the Smoke colorway is fantastic. It's like a cloudy/pearly sky. I love overcast days because all other colors seem to pop in that light as if you're walking around in a dream. Ok I'm officially weird.

I'm tempted to join your KAL but short rows are my enemy, I just can't understand them.

Although I love the cedar(knitting the Cat Bordhi Riverbed sock pattern with Cedar Casbah) I would have to go with the Amethyst colorway. I'm blond and have green eyes, and the Amethyst is a good look for me. Love the shawlette. Any ideas what to do with 2 skeins of Camelspin?

It may be cliched, but I think cedar is the one for this piece. I love peridot and salt, but they would just look washed out, and amethyst looks wrong with the leaves. (Woodland would look lovely as well.)

Beautiful! I love the new shawlette and any color would be beautiful but I too think the cedar does make the pattern look its best!Nic's story! How wonderful and thanks for the new blog to read!Darlene, a fan in PEI

I would love to win! I've just gotten the shawl/lace yarn bug. I'd pick either the colors Cedar or Smoke. Thanks for the offer! I saw the sample of your actual written pattern on your blog. The actual written pattern design really nice, I like the layout you did for it.

I love your podcast (as I already told you on twitter). This is an awesome giveaway. I have been eyeing this pattern since I started listening a couple of weeks ago. Thanks for what you do. It's awesome and inspiring the passion you have for knitting and design. PS. I want the ivory to go with my green winter coat:).

Your shawlette is just lovely. I'm inspired and really enjoyed hearing your review of the yarn. My favorite color of the Lady Godiva yarn is Amethyst although I see it's currently sold out. I agree that the Cedar colorway is a sensible choice for the pattern.

I really like the cedar. I tend to buy green yarn nearly every time I shop (my favorite color). I'd love to see the yarn in a goldy/yellow/orangeish/rust autumn color way. I know my Mom would love the pattern in that color. But the green would be for me!

Wow. I have added the Cedar Leaf Shawlette to my queue on Rav. I checked out the colours of the yarn and loved them all. Surprise surprise, there has been a rush on the Cedar and they are out of stock!!!

Well, I didn't think I'd have to check out the colors to choose my favorite... I'm a green person too. But I did, and no surprise, I love the Cedar with the Peridot a close second.Beautiful shawlette and awesome yarn choice!! I really enjoy listening to your podcasts while I knit on the train to and from work.

I absolutely adore this pattern! Yay! Cedar IS the best colorway for this pattern. So happy you have designed something for women specifically. I have recently discovered knitting and I love your taste but have no children to knit for as my friends and I are still a bit too young. This scarf would be so fetching with my grey dress...sigh. Thank you so much for all the helpful reviews and hilarious stories. You can find me on ravelry as scholarknits

I found your podcast while searching for some to load onto my mp3 player. I am over halfway through all of them and LOVE them. They are the best. I recently was in my LYS, and apparently I was humming or singing your theme song, and the lady shopping next to me started to sing along, it was pretty funny. Since my favorite color is green as well, I would have to say the Cedar is my favorite, but I am sure I could find something to do with any of the colors.

Loved the Jolly Green Giant story. She is a great storyteller and I love hearing it in her accent. The Shawlette is very lovely as well. If I were to pick a Godiva color, I would have to pick Topaz, with Cedar being next.

I just started listening to your podcast last week and am almost caught up. I've listened to many other podcasts and yours has quickly become one of my favorites ... it's actually about KNITTING. I love the stories and reviews. Thank you so much for all the information and entertainment.

I am a long time listener of the podcast - all the way from the start. I have really enjoyed seeing all of your designs coming to life - I especially love your newest one and think it would lovely in all of the colours - if I had to choose for me I would go with the peridot
